Connect SAP and PostgreSQL

Connecting SAP and PostgreSQL for a company could allow data from SAP’s business processes to be transferred or synchronized with a PostgreSQL database. This could support custom reporting, analytics, or integration with other applications that rely on the PostgreSQL platform. Careful planning would be needed for security, data consistency, and ongoing maintenance.

You can build this integration on the System2System platform. We design the connection between SAP and PostgreSQL around the way you work — not as an off-the-shelf connector, but to fit your systems.

Why connect SAP and PostgreSQL?

A company operating both SAP and PostgreSQL could benefit from enabling data exchange between the two systems. Without such a connection, staff may need to enter the same information into both platforms, increasing the risk of errors, inefficiencies, and duplicated work. Over time, records in SAP and PostgreSQL could become inconsistent, leading to situations where decisions are made based on outdated or mismatched data. This can undermine operational accuracy and slow down business processes. If a connection were established, it could allow for the transfer of data such as transactional records, inventory levels, financial figures, or customer information, depending on the company’s needs and the roles each system plays. For example, SAP is often used for enterprise resource planning, while PostgreSQL serves as a robust database platform, so the exchange could involve master data, transactional updates, or reporting outputs. The specific data that can be exchanged in practice depends on what each system makes available through its API and must be determined for each implementation.

How System2System builds an integration

Connectors

We connect to each system through the interface it offers — an API, a database, a file exchange or a webhook — and handle authentication, rate limits and retries.

Mapping

Fields rarely line up one to one. We map and transform the data so both systems receive it in the shape they expect.

Workflow

We define what triggers an exchange, in which direction data flows and which system takes precedence when the two disagree.

Monitoring

Every exchange is logged. Failures are flagged and can be replayed, so nothing disappears without anyone noticing.

What can actually be exchanged?

That depends on what SAP and PostgreSQL make available through their APIs, on the licences and modules in use, and on the version each system runs. Which records are synchronised, in which direction and how often, is something we determine together before any work starts.

We are happy to look at your specific situation and tell you what is feasible — including when the answer is that it is not.
